Thanks @chakster for the valuable information you provided. I'm all in for testing various components and hearing the results. Of course results may vary. I'd like to start out by testing the ATN170 / ATN180 styli, a high output MC.Testing various various tubes and finally different sound stages. Thanks for posting the links. This has been very educational even to a audiophile like myself.
Cartridge or Pre Amp
I recently picked up the Pro-Ject Tube Box DS and I am tickled pink on how warm and yet dynamic it remains. I’ve noticed that there seems to be some front stage darkness
on some older records. Nothing more volume can’t fix. Would upgrading my AT-ML150 cartridge or the pre amp would this phenomenon or it simply a characteristic of the production and pressing of its day?

joyofsound"Unfortunately I need a subsonic filter due to my systems dynamic nature" A subsonic filter is a band aid patch to try and correct something that is wrong with a Music Reproduction System but such filters suffer inherent problems and the course of best resort is always to identify, isolate and correct the problem at the source rather than try to conceal it utilizing additional electronics that are not necessary or preferred. |
